Don’t worry, downvotes don’t matter, it’s just funny to me how many people were offended by your views on pesto 😂
I’d probably get downvoted to hell for the stuff I’ve made that I call pesto, like using peanuts, spinach and sunflower oil instead of pine nuts, basil and olive oil.
Main reason is that I’m poor, or perhaps stingy depending on how you view it, and olive oil, basil and pine nuts aren’t exactly as cheap as the replacement ingredients. Obviously the product is entirely different. Most of the time I also replace cheese with nutritional yeast.
So yeah, I wouldn’t call it pesto, but heavily inspired by it. A pesto-like perhaps.

The problem is less about them disliking pesto, and more about them saying something along the lines of “all pesto is bad”
This includes your… interesting… rendition of
